Petrified Waves
Illustrated Thoughts on Crystals, Waves and Interference
Crystals solid. still fragile enough to become a device to transmit signals. stable. to store information for years and years. sparkling. so it creates a show that immerses people into its unique structure. sensitive. oscillating and monitoring. not living but reacting. with predetermined patterns
First draft of an installation setup:
Visitors put their mouth near the microphone and make use of their vocal cord.
Microphone is atatched to a loudspeaker.
Above the loudspeaker the crystal solution is arranged.
Crystal solution is recorded from above with a video camera.
Video camera is attached to a projector that projects the image onto a wall.
The image shows the pertrified waves that are produced by the vocal cord of the visitors.
Some Experiments on aesthetics
Magnesiumsulfate + gold dust (crystalized after approx. 2h)
Attempt to magnify a drop of crystal solution with a green laser
Setup to expose crystal solution to waves
petri dish contains magensiumsulfate solution
piezo disc is attached to the petri dish
piezo disc emits square waves produced by an oscilating circuit
sound isolating box with
magnesium sulfate solution
in petri dish
attached to peizo disc
piezo disk works as a loudspeaker in combination with the petri dish
Crystal solution and sound waves trapped in a box
